haha I remember him in the ring with Fedor after Fedor beat HMC I think? I don't remember exactly and may be wrong but it was just so random to see Jean-Claude Van Damme in the ring with Fedor...

I loved JCVD, great come back. And I want to see him get a nod from the oscars for it. Now if he plays his cards right, he can end his career with dignity.

Did anyone else love when hes in court,and the lawyer is naming all his movies,and how people die in them, classic.

Awesome! Loved JCVD movies when I was a kid. I actually met him right before he shot Hard Target on my way back to Seattle from Cali, he was riding on the same airplane as me and I went and shook hands yada yada. Was really cool to meet since he was pretty big back then. Can't wait to see the fight.

I say good luck to him.

Well said.

Let's just hope he passes the drug test. Wait, they're fighting in Japan

I did some research and JCVD appears to be a legit fighter. It seems he was the European Middleweight Karate champ and went 18-2 in Full Contact matches. All of his wins were by KO most in the first round.

This is could be a intresting bout.
